Bali villa project update #2
The construction on the new villa I am following here in Lovina is going along a little slower than I (and the developers) expected. They hit a snag with the electricity which has slowed things down somewhat.
The foundations are complete and preparations are under away for the concrete to be poured the for the floor, which should be done this week. The garden is really starting to come along. The established trees on the lot are mango trees which are both shady and provide a source of delicious food for the new owners.
The property is for sale if anyone is interested and you can see more details here in the property section of the site.


A small wall is being built to provide privacy with the neighbor's house. It's going to have a polished slate finish

This will be the front entrance to the house

Hiya, looking at the reinforcing steel shown it looks like you are using 8/10mm to build the house walls. This is fine for walls around your garden but in a earthquake zone like Bali you should be using 16mm reinforcing rebar steel with lots of deep holes to plant it in for your house walls.
Sorry to be a know-it-all but really you need the strength here – look at Java last week…
The ground looks marvellous and the drive up to the house is s dream.
Lotsa luck (and no earthquakes)
